Sophos Central Endpoint Protection (previously Central Endpoint Advanced)
The unified console for managing your Sophos products

Overview:

Sophisticated yet simple security for your desktop environment.

Sophos Endpoint Protection makes it simple to secure your Windows, Mac and Linux systems against malware and other endpoint threats. Sophos endpoint protection integrates proven technology like malicious traffic detection with real-time threat intelligence from SophosLabs to help you prevent, detect and remediate threats with ease. Web, application, and peripheral access policies can follow your users anywhere they go. And, your firewall and endpoints can share a security heartbeat.

Highlights

• Proven protection including anti-malware, HIPS and malicious traffic detection
• Web, application, device and data control for comprehensive policy enforcement
• Web filtering enforced on the endpoint whether users are on or off the corporate network
• Forensic-level system cleanup
• Choose cloud-based Sophos Central or install Sophos Enterprise Console to manage your deployment
• Automatically respond to incidents by synchronizing security between your endpoints and your firewall

Innovative protection

Sophos Endpoint Protection goes far beyond signature-based prevention of known malware. It correlates suspicious behaviors and activities using real-time threat intelligence from SophosLabs. From malicious URLs to web exploit code, unexpected system changes to command-and-control traffic, we’ll connect the dots so your endpoints and data are protected. The result is fewer infected computers and better protection against attacks and data breaches.

Complete control

Enforce your web, application, device and data policies with ease, thanks to seamless integration within the endpoint agent and the management console.

• Web Control Category-based web filtering enforced on and off the corporate network
• Application Control Point-and-click blocking of applications by category or name
• Peripheral Control Managed access to removable media and mobile devices
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Restrict unauthorized data flow using prebuilt or custom rules

Lightning performance

Sophos Endpoint Protection is continually tuned for the best performance. The lightweight agent keeps users secure without slowing them down. Protection updates are small — typically under 30 KB — so updates are easy on your network and your endpoints.

“We have found the Sophos endpoint solutions to be easy, smooth and consistent. Having Sophos deployed has increased our security posture ten-fold.”
Christopher Prewitt, Manager IT Security and Disaster Recovery, The Lincoln Electric Co.

Sophisticated simplicity

Sophos Endpoint Protection delivers sophisticated functionality coupled with a simple, intuitive user experience. Quick and easy deployment, well-balanced default policies and automatic configuration of HIPS are just a few examples of how we do things differently.
